Coming out of the pantry

We can't remember when we've been so glad to see the end of the month approaching! We made it! We survived an entire month without shopping for groceries! Our only shops in March were for bread, milk, butter, and distilled water. We did pick up some paper products at Rite-Aid, but paid for them with the $25 gift card we got for transferring a prescription. There are still a couple dozen veggie cans, 6-7 tuna tins, 3 jars of pasta sauce, and quite a bit of pasta and rice in the cupboard, as well as a few items in the freezer, including chicken, veggies and 3 small pizzas. We made beefaroni today, using the last pound of ground beef and Bertolli's Vidalia onion pasta sauce. It was a hit and will do us for two meals.

Payday is rolling around just in time to use the $10/$50 WD catalina at Publix. Thanks ever so, Michelle at I HEART PUBLIX for making my list-making so easy!

Living in the pantry

It isn't that we have forgotten this blog. We just haven't been shopping. For the past two weeks, our list has been limited to bread, butter and milk. Over $800 in auto repairs hit our grocery budget where it counts. Praise God we had a fairly nice litte stockpile to tide us over. Funny, we're feeling a bit like a fish out of water. We'd quite gotten used to couponing as a daily habit. It'll be almost like starting over when our monthly payday finally rolls 'round again. Meanwhile, we'll be keeping our eyes open for deals to share, so don't give up on us.

Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^

You're invited!

We have recently learned that several dear friends are in danger of losing their homes. In these lean economic days, it seems no one is immune to loss or reduction of income. No one is guaranteed a roof over his head tomorrow. At first, we felt helpless to do more than offer a sympathetic shoulder. But we were not happy with such inadequate response. So we have created a new blog called Virtual Rent Party. We hope that this concept will spread throughout the blogging community and that many homes will be saved through community effort.

This initial effort is aimed specifically toward our immediate acquaintances and all donations, less PayPal fees, will go directly toward those rent/mortgage payments. Once their crisis has been resolved, we hope that someone else will request a rent party. Be assured that donations will be dispersed only to those truly in need of a hand up, not a hand out.

When we told the original rent party hosts about this blog, they were at a bit of a loss for words. But they did pledge to pass along the blessings at the next party.

We hope you will accept our invitation to the first virtual rent party. Be sure to invite your family and friends. We have a 'round-the-clock DJ and plenty of room to dance.
